A older woman wants to make me her next of kin so I can inheret her money. The place she is going though that is handling her funds wants 800.00 for processing fees. The woman paid 500.00 and said I only need to send them 300.00. She sent me a picture of her and her late husband. She keeps telling me she is for real and this is not a scam. This is too hard to believe.

Go with your instincts... she is a scammer. It is so unfortunate that there are people out there that will get close to others just to take advantage of them. Go to the police dept. ASAP or call the non-emergency phone number they have listed in your phone book and report this person. (Try to get as much information out of her as you can... name, contact info, name of the place she says she is filing paper with... and bring those with you to turn in). Most police dept.'s have officers that handle this type of investigation. You will not only be doing yourself a favor by turning her in, you will also be doing others a favor who may fall for her lines.

its one of the biggest scams out there . save your money because if you fall for this your giving your money away.
if they really want you to be the aire to there fortune it wouldn't cost you anything.
think about it, be for real, you already no its to good to be true. If you didn't earn it and its not a relative giving it ,believe me your being scamed. Better yet if you believe that, just send me your three hundred dollars and i'll send you the millions i have when i pass on

It's a scam. Someone that you don't know "magically" wants to give you money. You give this person $300 and that will be the last you hear from them.

Off course it's a scam. Ask yourself 'is this too good to be true?' If the answer is YES, you know it's a scam.

Anyone who asks you to give them money in order to recieve money is full of crap. Its a scam for sure. Call the police (non-emergency number) and report her.

Total scam.
Do what I do when I get this type of thing.
say you will help in anyway you can, but you will not give one cent.
If there are any cost they need to pay for it them self in return when it comes time to collect they can take double what ever it cost them to process.
I have said that to several scammers, I am still waiting for them to email me back.

If she wants you to inherit her money (as though she actually has any) then she can put you in her will like everyone else. You need not be a relative.
